Expert Solution
Step 1

Bond:

It is a debt instrument issued by a firm to raise capital for expanding business operations. Therefore, the return paid by the firm to the bondholders is the minimum acceptable rate of return and the cost of capital for the firm. 

The price of the bond is computed by discounting the coupon payments and the par value.
